Default SKF Fork seals

Anyone have a line on SKF seals and bushings for the 45mm ZOkes?

I got SKF seals from Enduro Engineering for the 48mm Zokes. Maybe they have them for the 45s too.

Ryan,

Why don't you try Synergy seals. They're good stuff. Rob, the guy that owns Synergy bought that used 300 six days from your dad. I have used his seals in the last two bikes (KTM and GG) and they work good and don't leak.

I work for SKF and have a hard time getting a hold of the Fork Seals. All the seals in the US come through one point (MX tech suspension). I know he sells 'em to other places, but if you're having a hard time getting the seals, I'd start there.
Good luck!

Thankyou.
Our newest seal will be coming out in 5the weeks. Our new material is slicker than SKF.
All SKF seals are a direct copy from nok. All theyI did wasyou change materal. I have many reports of forks building up with air.

We have been developing fork seals and shock seals for ten years know.....specifically for off road. We have paid very close attention to detail. Our lip design is against air build up....does not like it....so it don't do it.

After taking my bike out for a good ride on Sunday with synergy seals fitted and I was amazed to find there was no air in the forks at the end, this is a first for me .. ever in all my years of riding

It should fit fine. The new zones are pretty new to the market. We have not had a set to test yet.
I can say they work beautifully in the wp and sachs and kyb forks

I wish I had some zones to test. We are finished testing....all of our test seals are being tested...with awesome results.

Call Drew Smith at Works Enduro Rider. I have a 2011 300. He just put a set in my 45mm Zokes but I haven't ridden it yet. WER 908-637-6385. Tell him that John C. told you to call.
